What causes blood sugar crash?

๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿซ A sugar-crash happens when your body does not have enough ๐Ÿ„ถ๐Ÿ„ป๐Ÿ…„๐Ÿ„ฒ๐Ÿ„พ๐Ÿ…‚๐Ÿ„ด (blood sugar) in the blood stream. It can happen for a variety of reasons...

And there are lots of hormones involved... insulin, epinephrine, adrenalineโ€ฆ but weโ€™ll skip the science lesson, and just let you know that low blood sugar can create a wide variety of problems likeโ€ฆ ๐Ÿค”

Hunger
Shakiness
Nervousness or anxiety
Sweating, chills, and clamminess
Irritability or impatience
Confusion
Fast heartbeat (tachycardia)
Lightheadedness or dizziness
โ€ฆ to name a few.

So, the bottom line, donโ€™t let yourself get ๐Ÿ„ท๐Ÿ„ฐ๐Ÿ„ฝ๐Ÿ„ถ๐Ÿ…๐Ÿ…ˆ! ๐Ÿฅบ

We have to pay attention to blood sugarโ€ฆ
Remember, your brain ๐Ÿง  depends on glucose as its main source of fuel, so itโ€™s important to eat foods that will keep you on an even keel -- namely by eating whole, unprocessed natural food at regular intervals.

You canโ€™t go wrong working in line with nature. Eat high quality foods. Organic, enzyme rich fruits and vegetables. Go grassfed/free range, organic meat whenever possible. Develop good food habits.

If you do this your blood sugar will be naturally balanced and youโ€™ll avoid some of those nasty problems.

Youโ€™ll naturally shed unwanted body fat, put on lean muscle, and sleep better. ๐Ÿ’ช

Sounds like a miracle drug? Well, along with exercise, nutrition will create the absolute biggest change in someoneโ€™s physical and mental performance!

Randolph Macon Volleyball Team getting after it with a specific lifting program. The customized program led by our coaches Shannon Melton and Beth Mallory incorporates power movements to increase vertical leaps, raw strength, flexibility and agility.

Think your team can benefit from consistent workouts? Give us a call or shoot us an email. Love to speak with you.

Yesterday, we had a true weight day at TTYG. This is a day where we expand on lifting more weight to build top end strength and power. Contrary to popular belief, this does not equal lifting beyond capability.

Level Method fitness programming includes working to improve short term endurance and power along with long term power. Can't have one without the other as a well rounded athlete.

Congratulations to Heather for Leveling Up in her Front Squat work yesterday!! Squats are a functional movement needed for daily tasks, therefore our squat work is very important.

Additionally, we pride ourselves in being a positive atmosphere for the many families that are members our The Trainyard. Families that work out together strengthen the bond, while teaching good healthy habits to their children. Here Dad is reviewing proper movement in the Deadlift with his oldest son, a baseball player working on strength in the off-season.

We are often asked about the Level Method concept. Great explanation of what makes Trainyard unique in the area.

When a gym works with a prospective client in their first session, or Introductory Session, the goal of the Level Method Intro is two fold:

1) show clients they HAVE A PLACE, at the gym and on the MAP;
2) give them a clear roadmap of exactly where they can arrive and what they can achieve.
Most gyms have an โ€œIntroโ€ process that consists of an overview of the program, a tour, and a workout. All too often, the client leaves that workout confused or discouraged.
โ€œI canโ€™t do a pullup.โ€
โ€œWow, Iโ€™m not sure I belong here!โ€
โ€œSo, how good was that?โ€
How are such questions to be answered? "You did great...for you" ? "Good- in relation to someone else" ?... Most people are so out of shape that simply doing SOMETHING is impressive. And, IT IS!
But given this fact, the Level Method provides precision, clarity, reassurance, and an objective basis for comparison for the client to feel SECURE and certain of their next-steps.

The Level Method Intro Session consists of GROUP 1 of the MAP: Front Squat, Upper Body Pull, and Fran (or a very appropriate variation for the individual to elicit the feelings in the famous Lactic Tolerance workout).

The client progresses through the Front Squat portion and follows up with Upper Body Pulling. Once those two scores are established we select the lowest level of the two, and use it for Fran - use discretion, especially with beginner athletes, and select a Fran variation that best suits them.

No one fails to make it on the MAP, which is deeply encouraging to beginners.

They walk through the doors completely unprepared, go through the Level Method, and immediately know where they belong. ๐Ÿ˜…
